Do you take issue with any particular thing he said, or do you just resort to insults when you have no valid counter point?

He's beyond reproach, either morally (if he was paid to qct like a Trumo supporter by Info Wars) or intellectually if he believes everything he said.

It's not worth my time nor energy trying to reason with people like that.

Identify politics are a terrible thing regardless of what group you’re apart of.

You can be gay black and female but also be conservative.
You can be a white Utah Mormon but also be liberal.

People should be free to believe as they wish regardless of background and what group they fit into.

Got it. You have no counter-point.

I am a black conservative and not a fan of Trump. I believe the left (not all) hate us because they don't like black people to think for themselves. Most of the left hate us because we always knew they like to use the black votes as pawns and if a black left supporter leave their plantation they are a coon or an Uncle Tom.

Indeed- it is unfortunate, as if most black Americans thought like that kid, perhaps they would be better off.

Larry Elder speaks extensively about this subject. I don't agree with all his points but he seems to nail it on this subject.

I didn't say that. But you go ahead and believe in fairy tales if you want.

Moving on...

Percent of Public Assistance Program Recipients Who Identify as:

Democrat:

Public Housing: 81%
Medicaid: 74%
Food Stamps: 67%
Welfare or public assistance: 63%

Republican:

Public Housing: 12%
Medicaid: 16%
Food Stamps: 20%
Welfare or public assistance: 22%

Are Welfare Recipients Mostly Republican? Or Democrat?

Cites both the Maxwell School of of Citizenship and Public Affairs (syracuse.edu) and NPR as data sources.

And here's Pew Research, confirming the Maxwell School's Food Stamps data:

Thank you for posting this. This exemplifies what it means to be a conservative vs a liberal. While liberals think that being conservative means one is racist, in reality, to be a conservative simply means one takes responsibility for his own actions and understand that his actions have consequences. That is as simple as it is, as these stats highlight.

All the rest of it is window dressing created by the left.

It's the needle in the haystack. Most people are fully aware that most Americans don't like Trump. His base stays steady at 40%.
